I found this Beautify plugin to be quite useful for a lot of photographs, but it is mostly portrait-oriented.

If only i would be able to use the additional borders and textures. i did this :
Installing Additional Borders and Textures
Extract the contents of Rip-Border-Textures.zip and Texture-Border-Textures.zip to your gimp-2.x folder.

But they don't show up in the Beautify menu. The developer was of no help to solve the problem. I was told to do the above-mentionned instructions. When installed, you benefit from a good number of borders and textures, and you can add your own.

They show ok up here in 2.6.11 (super pimped edition )
i actually unpacked them into /root/.gimp-2.6

Make sure you copy the rip-border folder and texture-border folder to your hidden .gimp-2.8 folder, the same folder where your scripts and plug-ins folders are located.http://gimpscripts.com/2014/02/beautify/

The Gimp profile directory

This directory is the root of a tree where Gimp keeps your settings. To locate the Gimp profile directory:

Start the Python-fu console: "Filters/Python-fu/Console"
Enter "print gimp.directory" (without the quotes)
What prints out is the Gimp profile directory http://gimp-tools.sourceforge.net/

After doing some web search, i found more information about beautify plugin, to help me with extra folders containing more ressources, because i still keep having the same basic features.

It seems there is a hidden Gimp 2.8 folder, where user has to put extra folders containing more textures and borders.
